I may have to find another station when I get my car back.
Not today. I was driving kind of sensibly if there is such a thing. LOL I just wanted to soak it all in. Sensory overload at first. LMAO.

Mine has been boosted for four and a half years. Still brings a smile to my face every time I hear the cold start rumble of the exhaust, but especially when the turbo spools up the first time.

Mine doesn't spool up, it rips. The sound I get from the turbo's, exhaust, and engine are just nuts. It is very crisp sounding. Just sounds like a dang racecar flat out. I kinda wonder what folks hear as I go by.

Never be the same as being in the passenger seat but I think we can get a pretty good perspective.

What a day.

Motorhome is up and running. One water pump, 2 engine batteries, road call labor, $1,350.00. One of the engine batteries split it's case, and lost all fluid onto the ground. I was going to replace the batteries this Thursday when it comes back. Now I don't have to. The batteries are 10 yrs old. When the motorhome comes back Thursday. We have to give it a quick cleaning and inspection. Because it's going back out on Friday.

Cleaned the inside of Grand Cherokee. It was a mess from our trip out west. Plus i washed the outside and did the wax as you dry routine. Tomorrow I'll do a good wax job on it.

You should find out. Tell you what. I'll come visit. And you can let me take it down the road and then I'll turn around and buzz the tower coming back so you can hear it
